WARREN, Mich. (FOX 2) – An argument that escalated at a local LA Fitness in Warren culminated in shots being fired in the gym’s parking lot, with two individuals now in custody, as confirmed by local police.
The incident unfolded at approximately 6 p.m. on Wednesday and transpired at the LA Fitness facility situated on Mound Road, in close proximity to the General Motors Tech Center in Warren.
According to gym staff, the dispute initially began on the basketball court. It is alleged that a physical altercation occurred when one player struck another while on the court. The disagreement then spilled outside into the gym’s parking lot, leading to the discharge of a firearm.
